Episode 092: Preparing for Gluttony (3)

win-

Glittering makchang oil drips down on the burning red charcoal.

Oil smoke rose in front of me with the sound of marbles bouncing.

As the fragrant aroma of makchang seeps into your nostrils, saliva builds up in your mouth.

I picked up a ripe makchang and placed it in front of the president with a blank expression on his face.

“The makchang here is really delicious. Well, you can dip it in soy sauce, or you can dip it in soy sauce and eat it.”

When I said that, the CEO raised his chopsticks with a trembling expression on his face.

Then I picked up the makchang that I had baked and looked at it for a long time.

“Is this your first time eating it?”

“Oh, no. I also ate rouge in Beijing, and in Tokyo I like to eat nabe (nabe) and yakiniku (やkiniku).”

Um, so you're talking about the first Korean makchang?

I smiled softly and opened my mouth.

“I’ve never eaten rouge or nabe, but this place is no less than that. Try it.”

When I ask again, the representative, who looks at me for a moment, closes his eyes tightly and puts a makchang in his mouth.

Then he chews the makchang with an expression like a papillon chewing a cockroach.

but not long after

"uh?"

He swallows the makchang and opens his eyes wide and looks at me.

“Are you okay?”

when i ask

The representative nodded his head and, with an anxious expression, began to look at the makchang above the grill.

“It’s ready to eat, so you can eat it.”

Then, with a bright expression on his face, he picks up the makchang and puts it in my mouth.

after a while.

“It's delicious...”

With tears in his eyes, he looked at me and said.

Well, it's a little shocking to see such a reaction even in a single makchant...

But fortunately, this kind of reaction seems to have only happened for the first time, and soon after without a word, he began to eat the makchang.

His chopsticks were quite dazzling, going over soy sauce, soy sauce, and salt.

“Oh, would you like something like this? I will bake.”

If you have something left to eat, pick it up.

As I stare at him, he picks up the tongs with a shy expression on his face.

He even started to bake makchang in an awkward manner.

“Don’t you come to this place when you have a dinner party?”

when i ask

“Ah… I’ve never been to a dinner party.”

He said with a humble expression on his face.

"why not?"

“People say it’s uncomfortable when I go. That’s why I tend to eat as little as possible and go home as soon as possible.”

"Ah······."

He became a little pitiful.

Up until now, I thought that a dinner party was only a time when the lower-end staff suffered, but now it seems that the CEO has his own difficulties.

While the representative grilled the makchang with an awkward gesture, I looked around.

The surroundings are already full.

Loud laughter, the sound of clinking glasses.

fall off- fall off-

The sound of the makchang ripening could not be heard.

It was rather the best place to have an intimate conversation.

And there's something that shouldn't be indulged in having an intimate conversation.

“Auntie, give me some soju, please.”

When I ordered alcohol, the boss with a bright impression brought it to me.“Do you drink soju?”

I handed him a drink and asked.

"Sure. I ate it a few times after returning home, and it was okay because I didn’t get drunk because the alcohol content was low.”

The president took a glass of wine and trembled.

By the way... Soju has a low alcohol content? Well, then, I'm glad I won't get drunk and tell the truth.

I drank to talk anyway, not to get drunk.

braided-

I met a glass with the representative.

Around the time when the glass of alcohol went around like that a few times and their faces heated up slightly.

“Can we talk a little bit now?”

asked the representative.

Then his hand, which was about to pick up the makchang, stopped.

"Phew······."

After a brief struggle, he picks up the makchant and puts it in his mouth.

Then he swallowed it and slowly opened his mouth.

“…Now, what are you going to hide? Everything is what the teacher thought. Some of the professors at our publishing house asked for a teacher position, and I accepted it.”

He said calmly as if he was about to give up hiding now, sighing and continuing his words.

“They are veterans who have been in the problem book market for more than a decade, ah! Of course, everyone acknowledges a teacher's achievements, but somehow, it's something? Is it the pride of the old man?”

“Hmm. It only sounds like territoriality to me.”

“...Yes, what. Yes. If you unpack it, that's actually it. Of course, if I just cut it off for business, they will resign too, but honestly, it is difficult for me to ignore their relationship with my father.”

He even drinks a glass of pre-filled alcohol at once.

“Okay, that’s fine. Sir... Now, it's a bit awkward to say this, but can't you just pretend you don't know once and work as a co-author? From then on, no matter what happens, I will take care of this so that it doesn't happen..."

“·················ogue.”

“Except for this, I will do my best to make sure that teachers in all fields benefit proportionally. I am well aware that if something comes, there must be something going.”

Seeing him talking with a gloomy complexion, the emotions he had when he first said “concession” to me almost subsided.

‘Well, I’m going to say no anyway.’

However, there were still unanswered questions.

“Why are you hanging around me like this? It’s hard to understand just the stories we talked about while eating.”

when i ask

He scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

"that···"

Then he turned his head for a moment and let out a dry cough.

Then he opened his mouth with a look of embarrassment.

“... somehow, if you were a teacher, I thought that you could go with me for the rest of your life.”

Yes?

What else is this?

It was unexpected, so I was a little embarrassed.

Knowing that what he said was a very squeaky word, he began to pick up and put on a ripe makchang for nothing.

I can't wait to hear something like this from someone who is the head of a major publishing company.

I looked at him with reassuring eyes.

Then he scratched the back of his head and said.

“Actually, I have heard that one eye is quite accurate even if I have nothing else to offer. But the last time I saw the teacher on the ‘Adult’s Circumstances’ broadcast, I just had the urge to say, ‘This is this person. therefore···"

no way···

But even so, when you're just getting acquainted and starting a business, you'll probably hear something like this.

Can this yangban manage the company properly?

at that time.

thud-

At one point, the CEO banged his head on the table and fell asleep.

He had looked relatively fine until recently, so he was a little perplexed.

There are about five bottles of soju on the table.

Compared to when he was having a dinner at the academy, he wasn't even warm-up, so he was a little careless.

“Hey, is this bachelor gone? What about this?”

It must have been quite noisy, so the boss who was cleaning the table next to him looked at the CEO with a worried expression.

As there are people who suddenly collapse while drinking, it is understandable that the boss is worried.

“Ugh…makchang….”

It didn't look like there was much to worry about.

I looked at the representative.

"...I can drink more...make more makchang..."

The president, who had collapsed, began to talk.

What the hell are you dreaming of...

But it soon became quiet.

“Whew.”

I sighed and looked at the representative.

His shoulders, which went up and down periodically, seemed unusually small.

I got up from my seat with the completely intoxicated representative.

After all, I couldn't leave the drunk man alone.

* * *

the next day.

“...if you open the refrigerator in our house, there are things like honey water and sikhye in the compartment near the door. yes it is And since I bought porridge in the morning, take it with you.”

said into the phone.

OK.

[Ah, thank you teacher... But maybe I made a mistake?]

A cautious voice emanates from the receiver. It's the voice of the CEO of Globian, who we had at my house last night.

When I came out in the morning, I was out of bed without waking up, but now it seems like I'm awake.

But mistake?

It could have been a mistake if it was a mistake to not be able to go to a single body because I was drunk.

“Are you wrong? Of course it was.”

let me say

[Heh, are you really? I'm really sorry for this! I'll go to the school right away!]

Surprised, the CEO spit out that he would come right away.

When I looked at the sound coming from the receiver, I could hear the hustle and bustle of getting dressed.

I opened my mouth to calm him down.

"just joke. It's nothing special, so just take a good rest. hang up.”

I thought I could hear something over the phone, but I hung up with a smile.

drip-

He hung up the phone and sighed.

Then I felt the remaining alcohol draining away.

Thinking about it, I regretted it a bit.

Representative, it's okay since the publishing house is closed on weekends, but I was a lecturer at a private academy who had to go to work if needed without distinction.

Anyway, thanks to the unexpected death of the CEO yesterday, it was fortunate that he didn't drink too much.

If you drank like a party at the academy...

'I'm probably still lying on the bone.'

However, he was not feeling well because he drank alcohol after a long time.

Therefore, he came out of the office to drink even water.

But at that moment.

“… Teacher Kim?”

Someone's voice came from behind.

I glanced around and saw Eunsol with a cold expression on her face.

Something different from usual? Is it your mood?

"Yes?"

let me answer

“Because of the textbook. This time, it seems that ㅇㅇ publishers did not come for school holidays teachers.”

Eunsol handed me a document with a hard expression.

When I checked the documents with a confused feeling, I saw that some of the textbooks that were originally supposed to be delivered were checked as missing.

“Ahhh, are you a publisher? Did you do it again this time?”I checked the documents and asked Eunsol.

Then Eunsol nodded her head and said.

"Yes. This time too. I did it at my discretion, but I think you should review it later.”

Then, while checking the documents, he suddenly looked at me.

She hesitated a bit.

Slowly her mouth opens.

“By the way, did you have an appointment yesterday?”

Narrowing her eyes, she looked at her and somehow stabbed her even though she was innocent.

“Ah, yes, I had some drinks yesterday because I had an important appointment.”

“Ah, an important promise?”

However, the expression on her face as she spoke her words seemed somewhat anxious.

Worried about my drinking?

"Yes. I met some of the publishers.”

Then she loosens her expression.

"okay? Well, you must have not seen my KakaoTalk like that, did you?”

“Yeah what.”

what?

Did she send her kakaotalk yesterday?

The moment I was just about to check Kakao Talk because of something strange.

Ring Ding Dong- Ring Ding Dong- Digi Dick Dick Dick -

Suddenly, a loud bell rang.

Ah...

Now he seemed to know who the culprit was without seeing.

"Phew."

I picked up my phone and checked the caller.

However?

[010-6369-XXXX]

It was the first number I saw.

Most of my calls come from parents or students.

Their phone number was already stored in their cell phone.

He tilted his head and pressed the call button.

OK.

[Excuse me. Is it Kim Jun-young's cell phone?]

deep voice. Unknown number, unknown voice. But somehow, it was a voice that could not be taken lightly.

"Yes. right? Who are you?"

Then, a completely unexpected identity was heard.

[Oh, sir, I am Yong-seok Lim, who is the CEO of Stellaris Entertainment.]

Im Yong-seok?

Maybe the Lim Yong-seok I know?

Representative and general producer of Korea's top entertainment 'Stellaris'. By the way, Na-yoon Son also belongs here.

As a tycoon in the entertainment industry, whose name is often on the news, why did he call me?

[Ah, it's no different...]

yet.

Lim Yong-seok's business continues.

He did not speak back as he was known to the public.

[...is it possible?]

Hmm.

I pondered for a while.

I put my chin on my chin and thought about what happened from yesterday to now.

If you do this well, I think the angler will be right.

I think that perhaps the issue of publication of the problem book and the case of the lead author can be resolved at this time.

together,

At the same time, the unexpected quest that Lim Yong-seok, the head of Korea's largest entertainment company, gave me.
